Y-type Rigid Pipe Connector
The 28mm Y-Type Rigid Pipe Connector is a push-fit branch fitting for joining 28mm rigid pipe in caravan and RV plumbing. It splits a single 28mm line into two, making it easy to add a junction in fresh-water or waste runs.

What is a Y-type rigid pipe connector used for?
A Y-type connector is used to join two waste pipes into one or split one pipe into two, helping manage water flow in caravan plumbing systems.
What size pipes does this connector fit?
This connector is designed for standard 28mm rigid caravan pipe systems, which are commonly used in waste water setups.
How does a push-fit connection work?
Push-fit connectors allow pipes to be inserted directly into the fitting without glue or clamps, creating a secure and leak-resistant seal.
Is this suitable for self-containment systems?
Yes, Y-connectors are commonly used in self-containment plumbing to route grey water from multiple outlets into a single waste line.
What material is it made from?
It is made from polypropylene, a durable plastic that resists chemicals, heat, and general wear in plumbing applications.
Can it be used for drinking water systems?
No, this type of connector is typically intended for waste water systems only, not for potable (drinking) water.
Is installation difficult?
No, installation is simple—just push the pipes firmly into each end of the connector. No special tools are required.
Can it be removed after installation?
Yes, push-fit systems can usually be disconnected if needed, making maintenance and adjustments easier.
Why use a Y connector instead of a T connector?
A Y connector provides smoother flow with less resistance compared to a T connector, which can help reduce blockages and improve drainage efficiency.
Where is this typically installed in a caravan?
It is usually installed in the grey water system to combine waste from sinks, showers, or other outlets into a single drainage line.
